The truth will out. 'Labour MPs behind the Speaker’s chair allegedly were heard talking loudly of how “Keir is going to fix the Speaker” and Labour whip Chris Elmore was heard telling MPs to “use every procedural measure possible to delay.' #GazaDebate

@ScotParl has voted by 90-28 to decline legislative consent for the UK Internal Market Bill. This means that UK Gov does not have permission to apply the Bill to Sco devolved areas. This is clear and unambiguous. The 'Scottish' media must now stop ignoring the constitution.

@ArchbishopStua1 Obvious but worth spelling out, thank you. Divide and Rule is a well worn strategy used by the British Empire. It ultimately fails but seceeded countries are often left in a divided and dire state. We must realise that this is the aim and protect ourselves and our nation now.

So sorry to hear from Grenitote, North Uist that Domhnall MacCormaig has passed away. Domhnall 'na Leabhraichean' was born and raised a #gaelic speaker in Dalry, Edinburgh. He was a valued friend to me and many others. Surrounded by books from his legendary book catalogue.

@Torcuil Spend what isn't ours Torcuil - if we ever physically had it - thanks to #BrexitCarnage which Scotland did not vote for. Labour under McConnell handed back unspent funds to Westminster, which WAS legitimately ours. Cashback for seat in Lords? #RedBlueTories

Brit enobled Sir Rocco Forte confusing British & English. Describing lack of lack of staff at Edinburgh's Balmoral hotel - can't get English staff. I think he meant British, certainly not Scottish. No one on the 'desk' or London Jock @bbclaurak corrected this howler. #bbclaurak

And folk wonder why BBC News is so biased. There is no let-up in the two way jobs escalator between BBC News outlets and other British establishment organisations. This is far from healthy, and indicative of a failed state.

@BBCScotlandNews Expert @CalMacFerries seamanship, the best there is - not just 'in the coastal trade' as #parahandy himself would say. Looking forward to my next trip on MV Loch Seaforth. BBC Scotland landlubbers really need to get out of the Pacific Quay silo.

Unelected Lord of Chipping Norton working his passage. Is it a lack of Scotland savvy advisers at FCDO or desensitised political antenna from PM days? How ironic that Cameron has now become a recruiting sargeant for the SNP and the YES vote. Tapa leat Camshroin (Crooked Nose).
